Product Details

Released in 1970, Abraxas captured Santana at a creative peak, with Carlos weaving his unmistakable sustain-drenched tone through Peter Green's "Black Magic Woman" and Tito Puente's "Oye Como Va" and making both songs feel utterly his own. The Royal Albert Hall bonus tracks on this remaster offer a rare window into the band's early live ferocity, a reminder that what made Santana revolutionary wasn't just the studio records but the electricity they generated on stage.

One of the most influential bands in rock, Santana pioneered "world beat" way before their time with a unique blend of rock & Latin music that proved to be as popular as it was visionary. Columbia celebrates the band's 30th Anniversary with the label by presenting expanded, remastered versions of Santana's first 3 albums. This reissue contains the classics "Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen" and "Oye Como Va," plus 3 previously unissued tracks recorded live in 1970 at the Royal Albert Hall (CD only).
